profilewatcher_setup.exe on Myspace

Quite a few people seem to have had their myspace profiles hijacked and are having two periods posted in the comments of their friends. The post is a hyperlink to http://getweddy.info/goahead.php which prompts the download of profilewatcher_setup.exe to the user’s system. According to Zeropoint’s FAQ about their Profile Watcher tool it says that it contains no spyware. I find it odd that quite a few people have these posts and the software that it points to says they are not spyware. I’d definitely recommend staying away from this “service”.

If you want to set up a true tracking service for your myspace profile check out my comparison of a few of the myspace profile trackers.

[Edit: 3/26/07] A friend was having troubles with his year and a half old computer. He could not connect to the internet and it took forever for his computer to shut down. I looked at his list of installed programs and Profile Watcher was listed. I uninstalled it and removed it from the registry. Without even rebooting the computer was able to connect and then was able to restart quickly. Stay away from Profile Watcher!
